Completing Census May Help Long-term Economic Recovery
Census Results Will Help Determine Amount of Federal Funding
Moreno Valley Receives for Next 10 Years

With almost all news coverage now dedicated to coronavirus, it's easy to miss the fact that the 2020 Census is taking place right now, too. The results will affect the amount of federal funding Moreno Valley will receive for the next 10 years, and when the Covid-19 crisis eventually wanes, the need for federal funding will be greater than ever.

"With most of us staying home right now, this is the perfect opportunity for all the adults in our community to take five minutes to complete the Census and help make sure MoVal gets its fair share of federal funding for the next decade," said Dr. Yxstian Gutierrez, Mayor of Moreno Valley.

The Census is being taken primarily online at www.census.gov, but it can also be completed by phone or on paper.

It does NOT include any questions about citizenship or immigration status. And none of the personally identifiable information collected by the Census Bureau may be shared with any other government agency or private-sector entity, such as landlords.
